Today, the Jones Administration announced that all St. Louis American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds were obligated before the Dec. 31, 2024, deadline.

“When my administration was tasked with allocating funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, we got to work making sure that this money will have a lasting impact on the lives of every St. Louisan,” said Mayor Tishaura O.
